Woman Poses as Attorney to Smuggle Cigs

Ethics

A woman who police say posed as a lawyer to sneak into the Duval County jail no longer has any need to sneak in.
Investigators say 37-year-old Louise Cortese has been arrested after smuggling tobacco products into the jail for her boyfriend, who's also an inmate.

Duval County Jail Chief Tara Wildes tells our news partner Channel 4 Cortese is in serious trouble.

"Don't let love lead you to doing the wrong thing. Now she's charged with a third degree felony. That's gonna be life changing for her".

Police say Cortese was a former employee of a law firm and that she used a company letterhead to make them think she was supposed to be interviewing one of the inmates at the jail.

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC

A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party

Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party

However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
